Unruly
Discover the charm of the Unruly shawl, where garter stitch meets playful stripes and clever short rows. This beautifully designed shawl is knitted from the top down, showcasing stripes in three stunning colors that effortlessly bring your creativity to life. With a unique construction, two stripes elegantly widen towards one side of the shawl, followed by two that shift to the other side. This alternating pattern continues, creating a dynamic and engaging visual that grows in width with every color change. Unruly isn’t just easy to knit; it’s an enjoyable project that gives you the perfect excuse to spend time curating the ideal combination of three colors that speak to your style and personality.
Crafted with care and attention to detail by tech editor Stephanie Boardman, this shawl captures the essence of knitting happily while exploring various color palettes.
